Will GFCI work with items without equipment ground
I know it's probably a dumb question but my wife's hair dryer is old and has no equipment ground. Wanted to be sure she is still protected if it should be dropped into water or otherwise shorted.

Sam,
My Magnum hybrid inverter/charger trips on SOME but not all GFCI outlets. When I remove the inverter from the circuit path, the RV does not trip any of the GFCI outlets.
This behavior is why I'm getting bald. * grin *.
Another anomaly is that occasionally when I run the Yamaha generator, the one and only gfci circuit in the RV may trip. Again--not always. And it does reset.
Just imagine if your fridge or freezer was powered by a GFCI.....
We have a condo with a den. The den is used as a pantry c/w an upright freezer.
Being a den it is powered on the same "anti arc" breaker as our bedrooms.
Oh well, you know the rest of the story...
